Had a look in the official site forum to see what's been getting everyone het up - haven't bothered looking for about a year as I found it pretty immature. And is it just me, but isn't that a really strange site hiearchy for posts? I'd pull the plug on the existing set up and put in categories as it is here. Perhaps that would help the moderators - they've certainly got their work cut out for them. Don't envy them the task! Nothing's changed really in the postings. There's still a lot of muppets posting their inane ramblings. I'd ignore it. Marat no doubt ignores it too. I wonder what similar achievements have been made in their chosen field by the age of 27? Anyway, enough. No point in giving the comments credence that they don't merit. Andy and Timmo in the doubles? Excellent. Hope it's shown tonight. Jaimie Murray is doing well in the doubles - put out Rafa and Lopez apparently. Watched the Murray Mahut match last night. Disappointed that it wasn't the big yin, but I don't doubt they'll meet up again soon - hopefully not in the first round at Wimbles though! That would really scunner me. PS Jings, that's a short haircut for Andy. Maybe it's making him more aerodynamic. ;D Another PS Would like to see JCF win. No offence to Rafa, he'll win many more titles, but it would be nice to see JC making a bit of a comeback. ;D

I'll just add my two cents about this again, since I used to help moderate the place bit. Had a look in the official site forum to see what's been getting everyone het up - haven't bothered looking for about a year as I found it pretty immature. And is it just me, but isn't that a really strange site hiearchy for posts? I'd pull the plug on the existing set up and put in categories as it is here. Perhaps that would help the moderators - they've certainly got their work cut out for them. Don't envy them the task! That's the format and the script problem. I don't know much about websites and weblanguages but it seems the one used there isn't very "flexible", that's why the forum is like that. But you're right on everything you say. Nothing's changed really in the postings. There's still a lot of muppets posting their inane ramblings. I'd ignore it. Marat no doubt ignores it too. I wonder what similar achievements have been made in their chosen field by the age of 27? Anyway, enough. No point in giving the comments credence that they don't merit. Well, like I said before that probably has a lot to do about it being an OS. New kids and ppl that don't use the web much might tend to post in an official website than on another more "specific" one. So we here get the hardcore knowledgeable fans while there they get everybody LOL. I remember the old Webby saying at one point that there were more than 12500 fans registered and during the KC (Marat's blog week) the site had more than 3 million hits. Edit: just forgot one more point - with such traffic, there should be more mods and admins to check, organize and clean up the place and the posts and not just the occasional one, but that's a whole other can of worms I'd rather not get into Ok, finished on the subject I'll go back to tennis again. Just checked the order of play but unfortunately today I won't be able to watch but I'm putting my money on lil' Richie Gasquet kisses

I saw the first set and although she started a bit sluggish and with an unsure serve, she then seemed to pick up and by the end of the set she was being almost her usuall self... I thought she was gonna win!
